Intercession

Day 200

Published by adminmgp on 19 July 2026

Our hope is not naïve optimism; it rests in Christ Jesus – God with us – who, by his life, death, and resurrection, has broken the power of sin and death, forgiven our guilt, and secured our future. In Him our guilt is forgiven, our true identity is restored, and our future is secured, so suffering is held within a larger story of redemptive purpose. The Holy Spirit makes that victory present – comforting, convicting, and empowering us – while Jesus’ promises of presence and renewal give us a sure expectation that God is working all things toward ultimate restoration (Matthew 28:20); this hope reshapes how we mourn, how we serve, and how we live now, confident that loss is not the final word.

I’m sure you’ve heard it preached that purpose is not just a trophy to be won at the end of life! Purpose is the daily act of laying down our little agendas to join God’s work in the world. When we look inwards and chase significance for ourselves, we grow weary and hollow; but when we turn outward, even small acts acquire eternal weight. Serving others reorients restless hearts and turns routine moments into sacramental opportunities.

When we hide behind self-defence, clever arguments, or the comfort of being “right,” we starve the vulnerable work of reconciliation. Mercy is the brave willingness to lower our shield, admit brokenness, and reach across the fracture with a hand that could be rejected – but we still do it because the cost of staying proud (and dying) is greater than the risk of being humble (and living for Jesus).

Control feels safe until it becomes a prison. We clutch at schedules, try to anticipate worst-case scenarios, and treat other people’s choices like a life raft, only to find ourselves exhausted and anxious when the tide turns. Letting go isn’t passive resignation; it’s the brave act of surrendering the illusion that we are god and can somehow manufacture every outcome!

Courage isn’t the absence of fear; it’s the choice to move toward love despite it. When you trust God’s goodness, you stop sizing up every relationship with a risk assessment and begin treating people as investments of Grace. Risking sacrificial love looks messy and vulnerable, but it also births depth that polite distance never will.

Belonging isn’t a VIP pass; it’s the slow work of people giving pieces of their lives away until the whole forms. Generosity – of time, attention, stuff, forgiveness – is the glue. When you risk giving what you have (even when it feels small), you invite others to stop performing and start resting. That’s how loneliness gets outnumbered by family.

Holding a grudge feels like carrying a hot coal – in your bare hands! You imagine it’s burning the other person, but it’s really burning you. Forgiveness isn’t pretending the hurt didn’t happen. It’s choosing not to let the wound become your identity. When we open our hands and let go, we breathe. There’s space again for hope, for laughter, for real friendship.

What’s in it for us? The next series seeks to define this statement. For example, we say “make me a channel of your peace”, and there’s a real promise in it. When we forgive, we are forgiven; when we give, we receive. Not as a transaction, but as a reshaping of who we are!

We can all agree that there is something pretty awesome about standing under a vast star-filled night sky, or hearing a song that makes your chest catch – that is awe. It’s not just a nice feeling; it’s a holy alarm that points us to Someone bigger, kinder, and more beautiful than we can make sense of.

Visit any Art Gallery showing early Christian works, and you will see artists portraying Christians with halos or shrouded in glory. Well, there is a radiant declaration all around us that both humbles and commissions: the world itself sings God’s Name, and in that song we find both delight and duty. The Glory of God in Creation and Mission means that the heavens and the earth reveal the Creator’s beauty and wisdom, and that this revelation calls us to join God in his work of renewal (Psalm 19:1; Genesis 1:1).
